SOLD.

The Schooner Gen. S. E. MerWin Sold
 at Auction i'm Boston-Henry.S Sutton
 the Purchaser.
 The fine three-masted schooner Gen. s. E. Merwin of this port, which was run into by an ocean steamer and abandoned at sea and afterward picked up by vessel and lowed to port. was sold at public auction at Boston recently in accordance with legal formulas to raise the money to satisfy the claims of the salvors There were bidders from several States at the sale who offered bids. The vessel was struck off to Mir. Henry Sutton of this city, who was the managing owner of the vessel previously. The admiralty court will now decide what the salvors are entitled to. Various matters are to be taken into consideration in making such decision, as, for inst ance, what difficulties, dangers and delays were encountered in saving the vessel. The Merwin was not far out at sea, but was near the coast and the owners had already dispatched steam tugs to find her and bring her to port when the salvors came across her. MT. Sutton is having the damage done the vessel repaired and the quarterback e1- tended, while a steam engine for hoisting purposes is being put in. The vessel will be ready for duty again in couple of weeks.

 The board of selectmen met last evening and approved monthly bills as follows: Out side poor $500, new almshouse $4s3. 75, Spring side farm $140.25, roads and bridges $49. 50, old farm $47.50, construction SIS.
 Ex-Selectman John L. Treat appeared and stated that the Consolidated road had made proposition through it's attorney, Judge Harrison, to settle the case in court as re- gards the building of bridge at Center street, Annex, the railroad company to build the bridges and do all the work required on the land belonging to the company if the town will build the roads and pay land dam ages, provided the town withdraw the case now pending. The estimates are as follows: Land damage $350, mason work $500O, ex- cavating $1, 300. Town work to be done will amount to about $4 800, making total of something like $12,560.
 The saloons and places where liquors are sold in that portion of the town over which the selectmen nave JurlSo1ctlon were gwen permission to keep open until 12 o'clock mid night until the first Monday in January, 1888.
 H. H, Lane of 69 Union street, walking delegate. was severely censured by the select men for not fulfilling the promises he made in regard to paying the board of his children at the County home. Last summer his wife was burned to death and his home in conse- ouenee was broken up. Judge Dending took pity on Lane and made arrangements with Town Agent Reynolds to have the children provided at the County home, Lane to pay for them at the town agents office. AL though he made many promises to pay on them he never has. On February 28, 1887, Town Agent Reynolds wrote him letter to call at his office and fulfill his promises. He came and made many promises to attend to the matter in few weeks. He never came again and on May 7th Town Agent Reynolds wrote him another letter to which no answer has been received. The selectmen are de- cidedly of the opinion that he has abandoned his children, and they voted to give him one weeks time to come to the town agents office and make good his promises, if not the children will be turned oyer to the State.

OPENING OF THE SNAKE SEASON.
Adventure of Farmer I'm Indian
Territory.
A letter from Vinita TO the s. Ion

A letter from Vinita TO The 81. Loui,
Globe Democrat says: Art Barker. who
resides twenty miles north of this
place. has fully satisfied himself that
the great and good Saint Patrick could
have found an abundance of work
in his line in the Cherokee nation. A
few days ago Barker concluded to buru
an old brush pile on the warm side
of the hill. 1t was close TO "A ledge
of rock, which sheltered it from the
north wind. 1t would be a good place
to SOW tobacco seed for an early crop.
The brush heap had not half burned
up when a Kissing sound was heard un-
der the rock. 1t grew louder and more
OF it until at length snakes head sud-
denly popped out from beneath the
rock. 1t drew back a moment, and
then out shot an immense blacksnake,
fully ten feet in length. 1t fell fairly
across the blazing heap, and for Il
moment there was terri BILE commo-
ton. The reptile writhed aud thrash
ed in its fury and almost screamed
in its Kissing agony, while the Goals
and burning sticks were thrown n
blazing showers around. 1t was ter
rifle and novel sight; but it was soon
ended, and the reptiles fat kindled
anew the cracking flames Barker
was wondering if that was the last
of the show when another flattened
head peeped out, from the rock. Its
eyes blazed with fury, rs if maddcne

10y some powerful force behind a rattle
snake as large as a mans leg sprung
into the air and fell co-whop! OH the
burning heap. Great Scott! but didn'
things hum for about half a minute!
Barker says was more fun than a cir
Gus. The struggles of the RATHER scarce
ly had ceased when out jumped anoth-
err, and another. until they came too
fast to be counted. There were black
snakes and red snakes. green snakes
and gray snakes. spotted snakes and

A Lesson on Vanity.

at himself. He NAV have the eye OF

the finest paintings, but when he gazes
at his own features, his eye softcns and
an expression of fondness settles upon
his face"

The Bows Answer.

There is usually reason to be found
for doing what we really desire. On
the other hand, there are plenty OF
arguments to prove that the same limo
of action may be injurious to other
people. One day teacher told her
scholars that it was wrong to chew
tobacco; when a small boy, with quite
an important air, replied that he had
seen a fellow chew because his teeth
ached. and stoutly averred that it was
not wrong for any one to chew tobacco
if his teeth ached. This seemed to
please the scholars very much, and tho
teacher was at first sorely puzzled to
know how to answer this stunning
argument. AT last she said TO the boy,
Horace. if a girl should have :.
toothache, and want to chew tobacco,
what would she doP" Horace scratch
ed his head, and then said resolutely,
'She ought to have the tooth pulled"

dies, the while we direct our neighbors

And soon 1t viii be hot enough.

Let langud maidens seek repose,

Discard the old, accept the new.

Ring in the harmless Sunday horn,
Ring in the croouet on the lawn,
Ring in the London tennis suit
Wiring off, o frugal hotel man,
The antique ROSTERS votive head,
For fried spring chicken helps spread,
With gravy from the frying pan.
Wiring out, o Bridget, stout aud fair,
The weekly buds that gather dirt;
Wiring out the fashionable shirt,
The fancy cuffs, the underwear.
Ring in, Young man, brighter fate,
Forsake the sad unmarried band;
Ring up the willing dainty hand,
Ring out the lonely single state.

be could the Protestant churches all

versity, s'milar in its breadth of scope
to the institution contemplated by the
Roman church. There is nothing but
their intense individualism to inter-

within themselves the organization that
would enable them to engage in COM

strate that in one respect at least, their
system is adapted to the foundation of
an institution that would rebound TO
the glory of the Protestant church
throughout the world"
